254. Cut through the mess with a knife

Zhou Ni finally had to sit next to Liang Baozhou, because Liang Baozhou personally invited her.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Li Peijie began to introduce Li Xiang's situation and the new contract.

Zhou Ni took the opportunity to look at Li Xiang and blinked. It was not easy to speak at the meeting, so she took out her mobile phone and pretended to read text messages, but actually sent a message to Li Xiang, just four words, "listen more and talk less".

As soon as she finished posting, she saw Li Peijie's gaze shooting, she put away her mobile phone and smiled at the other party.

Li Xiang saw the content of the text message, and his face was not shocked. He didn't know that he was a little white rabbit in the eyes of Zhou Ni and Li Peijie and others, in fact, he felt that he was the king, Dou Dou had a deep understanding of this, and Li Dan also knew it very well.

Li Peijie spent a quarter of an hour talking about Li Xiang's situation, the company's artist contract, and how to upgrade Li Xiang's contract.

In the end, a so-called C-grade contract was provided, with a ratio of 4:6.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Xiang and asked Li Xiang's opinion.

She deliberately ignored Zhou Ni, just to skip Zhou Ni and talk to Li Xiang directly.

However, Zhou Ni would not let her succeed so easily, and replied without asking: "Minister Li, that's not what the contract says, you still have a lot of places that you haven't introduced, please finish it together, so that Li Xiang can have a comprehensive understanding." ”

She said as she spoke, and said with a smile: "If you ask Li Xiang like this now, it will cause him a misunderstanding, and he must have a comprehensive understanding before he can have an opinion." ”

When Li Peijie talked about contracts just now, she mostly talked about the greater benefits offered by the new contract compared to the old contract, rather than the restrictions.

Li Peijie said "suddenly": "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just remembered that Li Xiang participated in our meeting for the first time." Li Xiang, I'm sorry, because we have discussed it 6 times before, so we are used to only talking about different places each time. ”

Li Xiang smiled: "It's okay, it's not too late to talk about it now, and besides, I can understand Minister Li, maybe I'm afraid that I'll be scared, so I want to see it myself." ”

He gently raised the document in his hand, which was given to him by Li Peijie after entering the conference room, and it was his latest contract, which was basically similar to what Zhou Ni showed him.

"Oh, what are you scared of?" asked Li Peijie.

Li Xiang: "I was scared by the liquidated damages inside, 100 million, I was really scared, I didn't expect myself to be so valuable." Oh yes, is this the valuation of me in the market?"

Li Peijie was stunned and said with a smile: "With your current fame, 100 million is not much." ”

Li Xiang asked with the appearance of a good student: "I've always been puzzled, like how our worth is determined, for example, how did my 100 million come about, is there a calculation formula?"

Li Peijie squinted her eyes, smiled again, and said: "This is determined by the market of the entire entertainment industry, with third-party companies providing us with data support for decision-making, and also conducting horizontal comparisons, it is still relatively objective." ”

Li Xiang was noncommittal, and he didn't speak again.

Seeing this, Li Peijie began to talk about the restrictive clauses in the contract, and soon finished speaking, and asked Li Xiang again if he had any opinions and suggestions.

In order to dispel Li Xiang's different thoughts, she also gave a special example of Zhao Qiran, saying that if he signed a contract, then he and Zhao Qiran would be the two people with the best contract conditions among the newcomers, and some of his core terms were better than Zhao Qiran's, for example, there was content in his contract that guaranteed him enough time to complete his studies.

For entertainment companies, every event of a famous artist is a source of income. They can't wait for the artists to turn around, and commercial activities are available 365 days a day, 24 hours a day. Like Li Xiang, there are indeed very few people who have to spare most of his time to study.

Time is money, and in their eyes, the time when Li wants to study is burning money.

So what Li Peijie means is that they really made a big concession.

Zhou Ni rushed before Li Xiang and said: "Let's not talk about the reasonableness of 100 million liquidated damages, let's just say that since the liquidated damages are 100 million, the contract is B-level, which is very unequal, and I have never seen it in the industry." ”

Li Peijie: "The liquidated damages are actually not important, since we have signed a contract, it must be sincere cooperation, and there will be no breach of contract, otherwise don't sign a contract, Li wants you to say yes or not"

Li Xiang: "I'm curious, the liquidated damages of the B-level contract are 100 million, so how many of the senior artists in the company are the A-level about 100 million liquidated damages?"

Li Peijie: "It's not so simple, we have to look at the value and growth of the artist. ”

Li thought: "I don't understand this. This contract was too professional for me, and I was dizzy to watch. In my opinion, the simpler the more practical. My suggestion is to simplify this contract, delete what should be deleted, and add what should be added. As Minister Li said just now, the liquidated damages are not important, so delete the liquidated damages, what are the unimportant contents put in, scare people, I will take them home to show my parents, what if they are scared, I promised them not to agree, then do I promise or not?"

A smile flashed in Zhou Ni's eyes, Li Peijie smiled awkwardly, and said, "The company can send someone to explain to your parents." ”

Li Xiang said happily: "Thank you, this is a good way, a professional will explain it to them, then it should be no problem." However, I still have my sister, they are only 4 and a half years old this year, and it is useless for you to send a hundred people to tell them, they don't understand, they will only listen to stories, and they will be scared to cry by 100 million, 100 million, how many cute sticks are enough for them to eat for a few lifetimes. ”

Li Peijie:

Others: ww

Li Peijie laughed a few times awkwardly and said, "Li thinks you are very good at joking, and the contract has to show your 4-and-a-half-year-old sister how many words they can read." ”

"Eh, don't look down on children, now the children are smarter than the other, my family is smarter, they may not recognize all the words, but they are quite sensitive to money, 100 million they know. If you don't change this, I won't even dare to take it home. If I don't take it home, I can't do it alone. Li Xiang said with a smile.

In Li Peijie's view, Li Xiang is a typical nonsense. It was also the first time she had seen this side of Li Xiang, she had little contact with Li Xiang before, and in the limited few times, Li Xiang was polite and polite, like a white rabbit. Unexpectedly, this guy is not easy to deal with. Sure enough, once it comes to vital interests, no matter how stupid people are, they will be shrewd.

At this time, Liang Baozhou asked Hu Xiaoning, the minister of the Supervision and Audit Department, what he thought.

Hu Xiaoning said that he agreed to the terms of the contract, and this contract is already preferential treatment compared to rookie artists.

Liang Baozhou then asked the head of the legal affairs department, He Baisheng, and He Baisheng said that he also agreed.

Several others agreed.

Zhou Ni's face was solemn, she had guessed that the company had been pressing Li Xiang's contract all the time, and the internal resistance was not only Liang Baozhou, there must be other sources, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Like Hu Xiaoning, he is the minister of the Supervision and Audit Department, and he is under the management of Liang Baozhou on the surface, so he agrees and understands, but even He Bosheng and Chen Lei are on Liang Baozhou's side, which is strange.

Liang Baozhou saw that everyone agreed, and the victory was in hand, and said to Li Xiang with a smile: "The liquidated damages are a small problem, we can discuss it again, it should be reduced, and other terms, do you have any opinions on this contract for a newcomer like you who has been in the industry for half a year, it is already over-spec, you look at Su Rui and the number of hours, and they are still getting an E-level contract." You're on Today's Star together, but now you're far ahead. Li Xiang, the company values you very much, the new album is now in full swing, it's time for us to work harder, don't waste too much energy on the contract, I think that's it, go back and let Pei Jie reduce the liquidated damages, just 80 million, 20 million in one bite, haha, this is you Li Xiang, if you come to another person, it won't be treated so well. ”

Zhou Ni saw that Liang Baozhou was oppressing people with power, and took the initiative to say: "Mr. Liang, wait, that's not how things matter." ”

"Oh, how should it be calculated," Liang Baozhou asked a little unhappily. He has always been unkind to Zhou Ni, and standing in front of Li Xiang has hindered him many things, such as asking Li Xiang to participate in the entertainment several times, but this Zhou Ni blocked it. He heard that Zhou Ni had a background, but he never figured it out, so he watched and watched and didn't touch her.

Zhou Ni didn't seem to hear Liang Baozhou's tone, and said: "I know that the C-level contract is indeed very generous for a newcomer, but we Li Xiang can't simply be measured by a newcomer. His debut time is short, but looking at his current achievements, no newcomer can compare, and it is more than enough to be placed among first-line singers. Minister Li talked about horizontal comparison just now, I don't know if I have compared with Dong Sanbi Dong Sanbi debuted for a year, and he got a B-level contract. Li Xiang's grades are better than him now, and it is not too much to refer to him to get a B-grade contract, and the results of the new album are now beginning to emerge, and it is not too much to give an A-grade contract. ”

"A-level !!" Li Peijie seemed to hear the incredible words, her eyes widened, and she looked at Zhou Ni in surprise.

Zhou Ni wanted to roll her eyes, she had talked about it so many times before, and she didn't know that she wanted to get a B-level contract for Li Xiang, and she also talked about an A-level contract, but at this moment, it seemed that it was the first time she had heard such a "fantasy".

"That's impossible!" Li Peijie said categorically, "The company has a salary structure, and it can't be broken because of individual cases, this is because of small losses." Zhou Ni, you are an old man in the company, you should know, how can you make such a non-point request, I believe Li Xiang is more considerate than you, Li Xiang, right?"

Li Xiang lowered his head and didn't speak. Zhou Ni thought that he was moved, and hurriedly continued to fight for it, but the situation today was very unfavorable to her, and the other party held this meeting, just to come prepared, to succeed in one fell swoop, so to take a siege of Zhou Ni, several ministers who had a good relationship with her in the past may have received instructions from a certain high-level at this moment, and they are also standing opposite her, which makes her invincible with both fists and four hands, and some can't parry.

"Aunt Zhou, forget it. At this time, Li Xiang said.

Zhou Ni was anxious and said, "Li misses you......"

Li Xiang interrupted: "Forget it, you can't talk about them today." ”

He looked at everyone present, except for Xu Shuzhi, who did not speak, everyone else expressed their opinions and agreed with Li Peijie.

He smiled, as if he had figured it out, and finally let go of a concern, the expression on his face relaxed all of a sudden, and said, "B-level appointment, I don't want it!"

When Li Peijie heard this, a smug smile appeared on her face.

Liang Baozhou also said with relief: "That's right, Li Xiang, the company won't treat you badly, you can just write songs and sing with peace of mind." ”

Li Xiang shook his head, didn't look at them, and continued: "I don't want a B-grade contract, because I really don't take the B-level contract in my eyes. ”

He suddenly got up in the surprised gaze of everyone, opened his hands, as if stretching his waist, as if hugging something, and said in a longing tone: "Because I want more, there is no impossibility for A-level about super A." If you refuse to give it, then I will have to take it myself. ”

He looked at everyone and said lightly: "I'm sorry everyone, I take my own things, I don't need you to give them, and the facts prove that you can't give them." There is no need to talk about the contract anymore, it has been talked about for more than a month, what else is there to talk about! Your attitude, the attitude of the company, I already know that the reason why it has dragged on to this day is that I do not give up. ”

"You are all my leaders, I say something from the bottom of my heart, since I joined the company, I have created at least more than 100 million benefits for the company, but how much the company has invested in me, because there are really few items, who can point out one, two or three"

"Minister Li, aren't you very eloquent, come on, convince me...... What about the ministers here, why don't you speak, Minister Li Zifan, the scandal you arranged for me is good, it drove the sales of my album, converted into cash, to be bigger, 1 million, no comment, is there anyone else to explain to me......"

"Without that line, starting a company pays attention to the input-output ratio, this business is doing well, and the abacus is sounding, but isn't this a fool?"

Li Xiang almost roared, startling Li Peijie, who was sitting next to him, never expected that he would show such a fierce and strong side.

"Who do you think of as a fool, do I look so easy to fool, there will be something to open such an obvious fact there, you still have to discuss and discuss, discuss and discuss, and discuss for a month, and there is no result in a discussion. ”

Li Peijie heard Li Xiang's heavy gasp, and immediately heard him say: "Okay, that's the end of today's meeting, let's disperse, it's time for lunch." There is no need to discuss the matter of the contract, 20 million is not a big deal, I can afford it. ”

After speaking, I saw Li Xiang take the lead and left.

Li Peijie felt a buzzing in her head, a mess, and she didn't understand how things developed to this point, why did they quarrel and wait 20 million What is 20 million Li Xiang's 20 million liquidated damages Li Xiang's current liquidated damages are 20 million!! he wants to terminate the contract

She suddenly felt a splitting headache, and she worked hard to calculate everything, but someone didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, and cut the mess with a knife.
